SUO Challenge #140 – So Sweet Valentine

You’re So Sweet Valentine

The You’re So Sweet Stamp Set works perfect for a quick, cute and fun So Sweet Valentine Card! Stamped in the background with Real Red Classic ink are splotches using the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. I also stamped the circular shapes with Smoky Slate from the Timeless Textures Stamp Set which is definitely one of my NEW FAVORITES! Layered over the stamped background is the heart from the You’re So Sweet Stamp Set cut out with the coordinating Mini Treat Bag Thinlits.

Behind the heart, I added Silver Metallic Thread. The black button tied with Basic Black Baker’s Twine finishes off the details on the heart. Truly a So Sweet Valentine perfect for any Valentine in your life. I finished the card front with the addition of Everyday Chic Designer Washi Tape. The card front was attached to a piece fo Real Red card stock then attached to a Basic Black card base.

Layering stamped images is a great way to create dimension along with interest. I love how the Gorgeous Grunge layered with the Timeless Textures create a beautiful focal background for the Heart that I cut out. The “love” on the heart from the You’re So Sweet Stamp Set sets the perfect tone for the So Sweet Valentine Card. Try it for yourself the next time you create a card. This card may look complex but really is quick, simple and easy for anyone to case… BUT, remember, Stampin’ Dimensionals are your friend! It is amazing how Stampin’ Dimensionals bring life and depth to ANY project you create.
